Im currently reading this book and although it's quite a slow start, it is very useful for anyone that wants to get into typography. It gives plenty of examples when distinguishing the differences between the typefaces aswell go through the influences from where they came from.
The only criticism I can give the book is that the writing style is very formal, which I tend to find harder to read.

I totally agree with you, its a bit too formal for a design book, but the information about letters, kerning and formal names of letter shapes is really useful for our typography projects.
